Scouting Report

Assets
  • Wood's big pitch is a sinker and it's a good one. He also throws a change-up and splitter with good command.
Flaws
  • His fastball rarely tops 90 mph and that can get him in trouble, particularly against left-handed hitters, who easily turn on it. Gets shaken with runners aboard.
Career Potential
  • Decent bullpen/rotation swing man.
